The Herschel-SPIRE instrument and its in-flight performance

TL;DR: The Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) as discussed by the authors is the Herschel Space Observatory's submillimetre camera and spectrometer, which is used for scan-mapping, whereby the field of view is scanned across the sky to achieve full spatial sampling and to cover large areas.

Herschel Space Observatory

TL;DR: Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009, and is now an operational ESA space observatory offering unprecedented observational capabilities in the far-infrared and sub-millimetre spectral range 55-671 μm.
